It's just a leverage thing. The best plan for the long term future of the Penguins franchise is to stay in Pittsburgh as they would control most if not all of the revenue streams in the new arena. Something that couldn't be said for the Shit, er, Sprint Center.

Mario's turning up the heat in an already hot kitchen, and Onoratio and Ravenstahl are sweating bullets.

i can't wait to see more of the video, too. i mean that in the sense that i could barely see the damn video. *hinthint*

this makes me wonder...why would mario get so pissed about isle of capri falling through when he knew he still had the leverage of getting a relatively free arena in KC?

(and no, the Sprint Center wouldn't be fre. The city built that in the hopes that whomever moved in would take on the financial responsibility of paying the city back. either that, or the city thinks its taxpayers are really stupid.)
